herself ; and increased rosve t for his uusel-
fishness,coupled with smeere sympathy of his
unfortunate position, not, only devolved the
resentment she had attempted, to nurse into
life, but drew her nearer to him than be-
fore.
When, therefore, he informed her that he
had resolved to abide by his promise to Mali
Mee, and bad actually despatched a man
who knew the girl to escort her to Rangoon,
Mabel did not attempt to conceal the sym-
pathy she felt. She had, too, a vague sue-
pictou that the unthinkingspeecb withwhich
she had cut short their last couversatinu
mieeht have influenced hint in his decision ;
and though she could not recall the words
without betraying her regard for bins, she
was quite unable to let the matter rest whore
they left it ; the ice had been broken, and
she intuitively knew the young man would
not be disinclined to discuss his fiancee.
"Mr. Farnwood," she began, " you will
believe that it is not altogether curiosity,
but may I ask you about Mali Mee? I
can't help feeling a certain interest in her."
She coloured hotly as she spoke, and George
Farnwood's pulse beat faster as he saw it.
"What can I tell you about her, Miss
Grane? She is just such a girl as you may
find any day in a jungle village."
" Is she educated at all? Can she speak
English ?"
She has as little general information as
a child three years old," answered Mr. Farn-
wood. " She does not know a word of
English, and has no more refinement or
manner than a coolie. It is not nice to say
so, but you may as well know the truth."
"It won't be very pleasant for you to
live with her in a large station," remarked
Mabel after a pause.
"It won't be very pleasant anywhere."
If words could undo words, Mabel Gran e's
assertion that he ought to keep his promise
would have been wiped out for ever.
" Does Mah Mee know what you lose, by
marrying her ?" she asked abruptly.
" Oh no ! These are matters quite be-
yond the scope of her understanding."
"I should think she would be miserable
when she does understand it.."
opiniou; forbore to press for franker expres-
sion of it, devoutly hoping that when she
recovered her disappointment, she would
adopt a more kindly attitude towards
George and herself. The date of Colonel
Grand's return was uncertain, as also were
his movements and as neither letter nor
telegram could be trusted to reach bis hand
while he was " in the district," the two
young p'nple sought comfort and encourage-
ment in each other's society.
The situation, nevertheless, was not an
agreeable on:", for Mrs. Greve shrouded her-
self in forbidding silence, and never ad-
dressed a remark to Mr. Frrnwood beyond
those imperatively demande,l by the barest
courtesy., Allowances must be made for
the mothers feelings ; as she told her hus-
band when first she observed the growing
attachment, Mabel had received atten-
tions from the meet eligible )nen in the sta-
tion ; and she had been keenly anxious for
the worldly success which it seemed within
her /laughter's power to grasp.
native in such an important affair; but I''
can quite understand he is not difficult to
convince."
There was something of a sneer in her
last words, which seemed to imply that she
suspected George Farnwood's honesty; and
Mabel's indignation derived her of speech.
As a matter of fact, .Mrs. Grave had no:
doubts regarding the youug man's veracity or
that of lips messenger ; she had no more de-
finite object in view than to disparage him'.
generally ; but had she deliberately sought
means to estrange her daughter, she could
not have discovered any more effectual way.
From that day Mabel never touched upon the
subject; and the relations between mother
on. the one side and the .,,ffianced pair on the
other became so painfully strained that Mr.
Farnwood felt he could no lodger remain in
the house,
"I'll just move my things over to Roger's
bungalow," he told Mabel. "" It is quite im-
possible for ane to stay here. I would have
left long since, had it not been for the Colo-
nel's wish that there should be a man in
the house at night ; and even now I'm by no
means sure I stn doing right in going."
" Of course I am prejudiced," said Mabel
with a slight smile ; " but 1 think you'.
ought not to leave. • I know how excessive-
ly unpleasant it must be for you here, and
ant not a bit surprised at your wanting to
go. But, George, if there ever was good
reason for your being here, ie exists now.
Mother admitted only two days ago that she
was thankful papa had asked you to stay
with us."
George Farnwood frowned in perplexity.
His position was undoubtedly a very awk-
ward one, and Ire was at a Ian to decide
what course to take. Mabel was right in
/:tying that it there ever had been goad rea-
son for his presence it existed at this time,
Colonel Grane's anticipations had been
abundantly realised by perpetually recite -
ring burglaries of the most daring descrip-
tion both in town and cantonments ; there
was positive danger in leaving two ladies
alone with no protection but that of natives.
Colonel 4lrane's house, by reason of the
owner's official position as inspector -general
of Police, was just tate one bad charaeters

act of /Holt seeming bravado as to prodder
the residence of the head of the police cle-
ptirtuentwouldhave great atitraciions ; and
George Farnwood felt that it was his duty
to remain at the post his eltief h id assigneel
to him,
He was caufirmed in his decision by a let-
ter Mabel received from her father, which
anitouneed that his return might be looked
for in the course of the ensuing week ; and
as that event would.permit Me. Farnwood
to leave without rielting any uuppleasent:tees
with Mrs. (crane, he resolutely blinded idea
self to the petty slights which caused hits
to feel more than an intruder, and remained
where he Wee.
Both he and Mabel looked forward with
double eagerness to the Colonel's aterival; it
lay with him to sanction or veto their engage -
meat ; and though Mabel was exceedingly
sanguine, the"entleman sntodesty precluded
his unagiuing 1ue would be effusively accept-
ed as a sen -in-law.
Any apprehensions he might have had
were quickly dispelled whenhe approached
Colonel Grano with his request.
" As far as then= himself is concerned,"
said the father, layitlg his hands on George
Farnwood's shoulders, " I ani more than
satisfied with Mabol's choice. But wo must
not talk about marrying yet a while ; you
must wait until :natters are more settled in
Upper Burma ; the service may require that
you be sent there, and it's no place to taae
a Iady at present."
To which Mr. Farnwood was obliged to
assent. Ile had no idea of asking Mabel to
share such a life as it had been his lot to
lead at Sltwaydoungyee, with a larger ele-
ment of danger thrown in. But be had been
ee n
in hopes of obtaining an appointment to
some more civilized place, and said so
straightforwardly.
"You may be sure I will do my best for
you," answered the Colonel kindly. " You
have done your full share of jungle -work.
and we shan't forget that you rid the coun-
try of two such pests as Boh Than and Boh
Tame. The Government fully recognises
your claim upon it, and if any "plums are
going, you won't be passed over.
His cordiality urged George Farnwood to
make a clean breast of his intended relations
with Mali Mee, and be did so as briefly as
he could.
" I am sure you -will believe the when I
tell you the poor girl had no claim upon me
whatever except that she established by her
behaviour in the Bob. Tsine affair." he con-
cluded earnestly.
" I take your word. for it, Farnwood," re-
plied Colonel Grane. " You were in no way
bound to reveal your purpose to me before ;
and as things have turned out, I'm sincerely
glad you did not. I should have made
Ritchie send you off home for twelve
months, had I known it; you were going
to ruin your career."
If George Farnwood had been amenable
to persuasion, he would have stayed on with
the Granes until his name had been removed
from the sick -list ; but now the Colonel
had come back, bis services as clauLidar
were no longer neeessary, and he adhered to
his resolve to move. In short, the day after
his engagement bad been sanctioned, he
packed up his traps and joined a bachelor
friend in a little bungalow about five min-
utes' walk from the Greece' dwelling. Th.,
cool mornings and evenings, which gre.w
more bracing and delightful as January
drew on, he spent riding or driving with
Mabel; bat the intervening hours hung
heavily upon his hands, for his chum, who
belonged to the Public Works 1)ep•.utment,
was much away in the clistriet, and as he
often complained, paid rent for a bungalow
he slept in twice a month. The European
population of India is essentially a busy one,
and go wherexhe would, to club, library, or
mess, George Farnwood rarely found a
fellow -idler with whom to while away the
time. The doctor, to whom be now made
almost weekly applications for a certi
ficate of restored health, urged to try_him
to expedite his recovery by a trip to Noth-
ern India ; but as that implied a total sep-
aration from Mabel, he was not inclined to
act upon the au gestion. It was of, course
well known in the station that, he was en-
gaged to Miss Grane, and he was indebted
to the hospitality of his fiancee's friends
for frequent opportunities :of spending a day
with her. Mrs. Grane s antagonism had
become no milder, and except when • the
Colonel was at home, he seldom went to the
house.
Two months passeilaway, and the cold
season hacl faded into 'stifling heat; the
Saturday cricket matches were over;
punkahs were no loner voted unnecessary
at breakfast dna Clymer ; and the most
seasoned residents were glad to seek shelter
from the sun at half past Dight. George
Farnwood had made good progress towards
recovery, and extorted a promise from Dr.
Ritchie that he would be (ale wed. to "rejoin"
in a fortnight. He was very eager to get

Mr. Farnwood and Mabel were alone in the
house when he cam:., and the former inter-
preted the man's circumstantial report as
be offered it. Moung Louk's story was a
long Dae, and its interest was, not enhanced
by the remarkable exactitude with which
he detailed the various sums ho had dis-
bursed. Suffice it to say that on his arrival
at Shwaydoungyee, Mali Lay had greeted
him with the news that Mali Mee had suc-
cumbed to fever three weeks previously.
She had sufrered much with her arm, and
the pain brought on continual attacks
of high fever, which she was too weak to
combat. And as MoungLouk ended his
recital, George Farnwood felt himself chok-
ing with remorse for his joy of yesterday ;
the poor girl had, after all, paid with her
life for her devotion.
He glanced carelessly over the dirty • "ac-
count." Moung Louk submitted for payment
and discharged it without a word. His mind
was too much ocoupiedwith graver thought
to examine it closely, and he scarcely noticed
even to himself that the total was extrava-
gantly large. Nor did he remark that the
man left the house with his money omitting
to repeat the request he had previously put
forward, that !us old officer would exert his
influence to procure him some "unable ap-
pointment he coveted.
Mrs. Grane having heard from the ser-
vants that a Burman had paid along visit to
Mr. Farnwood and Mabel, unsuspectingly
asked the latter what bad brought him to
the house ; and the young lady, glad of an-
other opportunity to speak of her engage
ment'to her parent, explained at length.
"So he says the girl is• dead," remarked
Mrs. Grane dryly. "Does Mr. Farnwood
believe it ?"
"Why, yes, another " answered Mabel
inastonishment. "The man has been up
to Shwaydouugyee himself -there can't be
any doubt about it." •
I wouldn't be so sure of that, if I " were
you," rejoined Mrs. Grane. "Natives have
a wonderful talent for inventing stories " to
please master."'
" But Moung Louk could have bad no
motive fortelling anuntruth,

knew that George meant to marry that poor
girl."
"I dareaay. Moung Louie had, •a very tol-

" We meet not apply our standard of
love to the affection 3.11W -civilised Burmese
girl is capable of entertaining," said George
Farnwood slowly. "Although Mah Mee
risked her life, and would have laid it down
eagerly to save me from physical injury, it
would never occur to her to refuse to marry
me because the marriage would be pre-
judicial to my future : that is a kind of
self-denial absolutely foreign to her and her
:lass ; it is beyond their comprehension."
" It is the love of an animal," said Mabel.
" But surely she must know that she has
nothing in common with yon ; that you don't
care for her. Don't you think you prepare
disappointment for her, besides horrible
bondage for yourself in marrying her ?"
" I don't know, Miss Grane," answered
Mr. Farnwood despairingly. " I don't be-
lieve thepoor creature willaskmoreofinethan
'that I will tolerate her dog -like devotion. I
hope not, for her own sake."
Mabel saidnomore : she felt that if she
spoke again, her own love must overflow,
and bid him sheke himself free of this hide-
ous entanglement.

We respectfully ask your careful
attention to this statement, brief but
important, and which we will divide
intoothree arts, viz:
parts,
I, THE SITUATION; 2, THE NECES-
SITY; 3 THE REMEDY.
1st. The Situation
Health depends upon the state of the
blood. The blood conveys every
element which goes to make up all the
organs of the body, and it carries away
all waste or dissolved and useless
material. Every bone, muscle, nerve
and tissue lives upon what the blood
feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of
the heart, every drawing of the breath,
every thought flashing through the
brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to
be done rightly and well.
2d. The Necessity
The human race as a whole is in
great need of a good blood purifier.
There are about 2400 disorders incident
to the human frame, the large majority
arising from the impure or poisonous
condition of the blood. Very few in-
dividuals enjoy perfect health, and
fewer still have perfectly pure blood.
Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity,
has been inherited by generation after
generation, and manifests itself today
virulent and Virtually unchanged from.
its ancient forms. If we are so fortu-
nate as to eacape hereditary impurities
in the blood, we may contract disease
from germs in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, or the water we drink.
3d. The Remedy
In Hood's Sarsaparilla is found the
medicine for all blood diseases. Its
remarkable cures are its loudest praise.
No remedy has ever had so great suc-
cess,'no medicine was ever accorded so -
great public patronage. Scrofula in its
severest forms has yielded to its potent
powers, blood poisoning and salt rheum
and many other diseases have been
permanently cured by it. If you want
statements of cures, write to us. If
you need a good blood purifier, take
